Location 2 . 1 The subject property is located in Part Lot 8, Concession 2, former Town of Bowmanville. The property is bounded by Concession Street to the South, Development Application 18T-88037 to the North and the eastern limit of Lot 8 to the east. 3 . Background 3 . 1 On May 1, 1990, the Town of Newcastle Planning Department received an application to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended, to permit the development of 40 Townhouses . 3 .2 In 1977, this parcel was zoned "Urban Residential Exception Eight (R1-8) " (By-law 77-39) . This zoning permitted the land to be used "for a residence for the accommodation, education, , employment, recreation and therapeutic treatment of handicapped persons. " However, the property has remained vacant. Since By-law 77- 39 has been approved, the type of facility that Participation House wishes to provide has changed, hence the submission of this rezoning application. 4. Existing and Surrounding Uses f 4. 1 Existing Uses: Vacant f 4.2 Surrounding Uses: East: Soper Creek West: Single Family Residence - Previously a Day Care f South: Existing Single Family Residential North: Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-88037 5 . Official Plan Policies 5 . 1 According to the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, the property is designated "Low Density Residential" . The Policies state that "Low Density Residential" development shall not exceed a density of 30 units per net 520 J REPORT PD-192-90 PAGE 3 residential hectare (Section 7.2 . 1.2 iv) . Staff's calculations indicate that the site has approximately 0.98 ha of developable area. Therefore, a 40 unit project would produce a density of 41 units per net residential hectare. Since this exceeds the permitted density, an Official Plan Amendment is required. Staff note that should the Zoning By-law Amendment be approved, the Town could give consideration to an Official Plan Amendment. 6 . Zoning Provisions 6 . 1' The subject property is zoned "Urban Residential Exception Eight (R1-8) , and "Environmental Protection (EP) " . As noted earlier, the property was zoned to permit a similar use. However, since By-law 77-39 was site specific, the current proposal does not meet the intent of the "Rl-8 " zone. 7 .
